I just saw a commercial for that Cirque thing tonight. As I was watching my local news. So it is coming to my area. And you know what I really don't care about it. Just seeing the commercial for it really hurt. I am crying now just by thinking about it. Because I see it as another stupid MJ tribute. That I will never waste my time of seeing.

I am glad it got promoted on GMA. If someone doesn't want to see the show then it's up to them. It is a tribute to Michael but it is a classy tribute. It doesn't replace him at all. Nothing will. I never saw a cirque de soleil show before but heard it about it. So when i went I was very happy. I laughed and cried and wanted to dance. You see Michael's messages in the show. I think it's helping people appreciate Michael more even though I will always feel he should have gotten that when he was still here. It is very respectful show that celebrates Michael.

Well maybe. But your probably not suffering from deep depression from over what had happen to him like I am. Which is the why I said what I said about it.

In all seriousness, I think at this point, you really need to seek some professional help if you still are in this deep depression as you've stated.

How can I when my mother refuses to get help for my depression. My family could really careless about me and my depression. But that is ok though. Since I am now just learning to live with my depression.

Why do you need your mother to get you help? Are you under 18? If so, I'm sure your school has counsellors.



Have FUN NY fans!!!

I am 32 years old. But the reason I need my mother is because I can't drive. All thanks to my severe learning disabilities and that car accident I was in when I was 16. And I can't use public transportation since I really don't live near any. And believe me I would have gotten help for my depression. If my family didn't have so much hatred towards Michael. Especially my mother who not only defended Dr. Death of what he did to Michael. She also made fun of what had happen to him right in front of me. 2 days after it had happen. And she did it deliberately just to cause me more pain. The only ones where I live that does care about me. Is just me, the people in my Sims games, my stuffed animals, and my teddy bears.
 
NEWARK — The spirit of Michael Jackson may not hover over “Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour,” a spectacular that played the Prudential Center here last weekend and heads to Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, but the Jackson estate sure does. It collaborated with Cirque du Soleil, which conceived the Beatles “Love” show in Las Vegas, to create this galumphing sensory assault, presumably a substitute for the Jackson “This Is It” run of shows that never was.

The director of the show, which comprises more than 60 performers and 32 songs (or snippets thereof), is Jamie King, a designer of tours for the likes of Rihanna, and there is a concert ambience. Recordings of Jackson are backed by singers and musicians on the top level of a two-tiered stage. A spoon-shaped extension reaches into the audience, while a translucent scrim shows video images. But it’s a circus atmosphere that prevails. Acrobats, trapeze artists, an aerial pole dancer of sorts, and even a one-legged hoofer, all in costumes sometimes bedecked in LED lights, provide the intermittently lyrical moments.

Jackson-like characters — one in the signature fedora and penny loafers; another in “Bad”-era straps; a gold-suited mime — start this kaleidoscope with a Jackson 5 sequence (highlight: clips from the group’s Saturday-morning cartoon) and an exhilarating “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” seemingly inspired by Broadway’s “Lion King.”

Off the Cirque show breathlessly flies, through a gangster production number for “Smooth Criminal,” a ninja spin on “Scream,” a swipe at the military-industrial complex with “They Don’t Care About Us,” a flag pageant for “Black or White.” And there is cheese: a giant dancing jeweled glove, a surrogate Bubbles the chimp in shirt and overalls.

Needless to say, there’s no hint of Jackson’s tabloid troubles, only superficial takes on the music’s often dark undercurrents. But there is Jackson’s plaintive voice referring to his child stardom. “Have you seen my childhood?” he sings. “It’s been my fate to compensate/For the childhood I’ve never known.”

He probably would have savored this family-friendly extravaganza.

“Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour” will be at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y., on Saturday and Sunday; (800) 745-3000, cirquedusoleil.com/MichaelJackson.

I am sorry to hear that you are still struggling so much, I urge you to do anything that you need to to get to talk to a doctor, if you can then just get in a taxi , or say to your Mum that you really hate how you are feeling (don't mention Michael) but just say you are really down and want to see if the doctor can help, could she please drive you. But only do that if you can go in to talk on your own.

As far as the cirque goes, Michael loved Cirque du Soleil and I think he would be so chuffed that they honour him in this way. The whole event appears to be organised professionally and with honouring Michael in mind, it is also estate approved. So as far as I am concerned this is as good as any tribute is going to get. And I want Michael honoured and remembered in the way that he should be, to get back what Michael was all about and not just those tabloid headlines.

I had already talk to my doctor and he refused to do anything about it. Even when I told him I have been suicidal 3 times over what had happen to him. And he nor my mother even cared about it. They think of this as nothing but a big joke to them. And my mother already knows how I am feeling. I don't need to tell her it is about Michael. Since she already knows it is about what had happen to him. And if I did she is not going to care about it. But that's ok though since I am learning how to live with my depression. Any way I L.O.V.E. Cirque du Soleil myself. Have ever since I first saw Alegria on tv over 10 years ago. And it has been the only kind of circus I will ever watch now. And I am glad that they are honoring him. But when someone who is suffering from depression they are not going to be interested in anything that can make their depression even worst. Which would explain why I have been unable to watch anything Michael related in almost 2 years. And it has been almost a month since I last listen to him.

I don't want to derail the thread but your doctor sounds very unprofessional and rubbish, he should have referred you even if he thought you were being silly. Do you work? I think you have to try and find something else in your life to focus on, nothing will take away the pain of losing Michael but it helps if you have other things to occupy your mind. Feel free if you want to pm or we could take this to the member support thread.

It is sad what you have been going through, but learning to live with depression as you've stated is simply no way to live your life. I hope that someway somehow, you are able to get the help you need.

^ I liked Joe Vogel and a couple of other fan comments in that article but I didnt like the authors own commentary in that piece. What exactly is this "dark side that disappeared"? he never had a dark side and people still talk the same crap about him so none of that slander has disappeared.

But I can't wait to catch the show again this weekend....this time I got sears in the "6 o'clock" position :)

I agree with you^^. The article has a lot of good things, but the writer has to add his own negative/stereotypical comments throughout. This is becoming a patterns in these critical reviews. They always try to say "don't forget we know him for that negative aspect as well."

Purple your experience was truly magical!!!!

Kurumi welcome to the group.

Bollywood there are so many levels in your situation that has to be dealt with and I understand what you are saying.

Thank you for the pictures above. I am curious which celebrities would like to go to see this.
 
At MSG too. MJ estate, Jamie King, gang at cirque du soleil: Message recieved. And what a powerful message it was. Never in my lifetime thought i would see MJ rescued from the tabloids. But last night sitting in MSG, it dawned on me that it was indeed happening in a most spectacular way. Can't underestimate the estate's brillance.
 
Thanks for posting the pics! I was at the MSG show and it was so incredible. I was thoroughly entertained. What a beautiful tribute to Michael. He would have loved it so much. Michael's message of love, peace and music is carried throughout the show. Add the amazing talents of the Cirque Du Soleil folks and you get one unforgettable show.

LOL my sister and I saw Tracy Morgan walk into the audience with that shiny glittery jacket. Did that belong to MJ? We had heard Tyra was there. We didn't know of any others. Where was the red carpet? Anyway, I am so glad I decided to go at the last minute. My favorite part was the Ghost/Thriller part but all of it was special. At times I was pleasantly distracted by the MJ footage being played on the large screens while the dancing was going one. It was hard to take my eyes off of him. You know it got me thinking that it wouldn't be a bad idea for someone to take MJ's short films and play them in movie theaters somehow. I would pay good money to see his videos on the big screen.

I was mostly watching the screens. That's why i have to see it again to pay proper homage to the performers. Since i saw TII, can't watch MJ videos on tv. MJ, his videos, and music belongs on the big screen. First time i saw TII, said hollywood must be kicking themselves for not putting him on film.
